Method

1. Put the chicken in a freezer bag. Massage in the olive oil, 1 tsp sumac, juice of half a lemon, garlic, thyme and chilli flakes; season. Leave to marinate for 10 mins or chill overnight.
2. Preheat the grill to high. Put the chicken on a baking tray and grill for 10-12 mins, until the outside is lightly charred and the middle is cooked through with no pink showing. Remove from the grill and set aside.
3. Meanwhile, combine the yogurt, mint, remaining sumac and a squeeze of lemon juice in a bowl; season to taste. Set aside until needed.
4. To assemble, spread each flatbread with a spoonful of the yogurt mixture, then top with lettuce and cucumber. Slice the chicken into bite-size pieces and divide between the flatbreads. Top with the pomegranate seeds, then drizzle over a little pomegranate molasses (if using). Roll up the flatbread and serve warm.

and as always have a chilled day from the Viking
